Information

A gangly Kiwi racehorse. A trainer down on his luck. A nation ready to believe in a long-shot. Phar Lap: The Electro-Swing Musical is the rags-to-riches story that galloped into history, reimagined with heart, wit, and a toe-tapping electro-swing score. The road isn’t easy - there are gambling scandals, double-crosses, an attempted shooting, and a career-threatening addiction to sugar. It’s high stakes, high drama, and highly historically accurate. Brassy, lively and retro, our stellar cast will take your audiences from the race course to the rave hall. After an unprecedented sell-out hit season at Hayes in 2025, Phar Lap is hitting the road in an expanded, unbridled production. Pop the champagne, harness up, and get ready for a wild ride. Phar Lap: The Electro-Swing Musical is supported by Creative Australia through the Creative Futures Fund Development Stream.

The company has become a significant creative engine for Australian music theatre, originating productions that have transferred to main stage venues, toured nationally and regionally, and attracted critical and delighted audiences across Australia.
